We make this dish for Placemat meals all the time and it’s always a hit with the guests! This is pretty similar to all the “vegan queso” recipes you see out there – but I don’t like calling it queso. It doesn’t look, smell, or …

Who doesn’t love mac-n-cheese? Creamy, cheesy, quick and easy stove top mac-n-cheese with an easy gluten free swap option. This is a great side dish but sometimes even better as dinner.
Ingredients:
-12oz bag noodles of choice – gluten free or wheat works
-3 tbsp grass-fed butter
-3 tbsp all purpose flour – or 4 tbsp gluten free 1:1 flour
-1 cup milk of choice
-3 cups shredded cheese*
-1 tsp sea salt
-Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta
-Optional: 1 jalapeno, diced
*I used freshly shredded gouda, mozzarella, and cheddar – but any combo of cheeses should work.
Instructions:
1. Cook the noodles according to instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. While noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a large pot. Reduce heat to medium and whisk in the flour.
3. Once a roux has formed, stir in the milk and whisk well until incorporated.
4. Add in the cheeses, sea salt, and jalapeno and stir until cheese has melted.
5. Stir in the noodles. Serve warm and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Recently I attempted homemade dumpling wrappers for the first time. They took a while and weren’t perfect but they were delicious and it was fun! You can totally use store bought wrappers instead, it would be much easier that way!I do not come from an …
Summer is my favorite time of year for food. The produce is the best during this time – so many fresh items from the garden or the farmers market! I try to get as many of the ingredients for this cold corn summer salad from …
This dish is heavily inspired by Alex’s Whole30 Meatloaf at TheDefinedDish.com!
I cannot eat onions or garlic and those are two huge ingredients in most meatloaves. This version is mostly low-FODMAP without any onions or garlic and it is still delicious and tastes like the classic dish!
Servings: about 4
Meatloaf Ingredients:
-1.5 lbs ground beef
-1 red bell pepper, diced
-¼ tsp herbs de provence
-1 tsp tomato paste
-1 tsp ghee or butter
-2 eggs, beaten
-1/4 cup almond flour
Sauce:
–1/2 cup tomato sauce
-1 tbsp tomato paste
-1 tbsp tamari (gluten free soy sauce), soy sauce, or coconut aminos
-1 tbsp dijon mustard
-1 tbsp maple syrup
Mashed Potatoes:
–4-5 gold potatoes
-½ cup milk of choice
-2 tbsp butter
-Salt and pepper
Instructions:
1. Finely dice your bell pepper and saute in a skillet in the ghee until soft – about 4-5 minutes. Add in the tomato paste and the herbs de provence and mix well.
2. Mix together the meat, egg, and almond flour. Mix in the bell pepper & tomato paste mixture. Add mixture to a parchment lined bread loaf tin.
3. Stir together the sauce and brush it on top of the meatloaf. Bake at 350 degrees F for about an hour, or until internal temperature of loaf is at least 155 degrees F. Once it is done, remove from the oven and carefully remove the loaf from the tin. Place on a baking sheet.
4. Place the loaf on the baking sheet back in the oven under a low broil. Broil for about 5 minutes, or until edges are browned.
5. While loaf is baking, roughly chop the potatoes and add them to a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and allow to boil until potatoes are soft – usually 15-20 minutes, depending on potato size. Once they are soft enough to easily poke with a fork, strain the water. Mash the potatoes with the almond milk, ghee, and salt and pepper. Adjust almond milk and ghee as needed for desired consistency.
I love eating chili with cornbread, especially spicy and cheesy jalapeno cornbread. Sometimes I like eating cornbread just on it’s own! It is also great with barbeque. Jalapenos are plentiful in the garden during the summer so this is a great way to use those …
